Well that's definitely enough people.

I can easily set one up. Everyone That wants in post your ingame name in bold in this thread. I'll start it on Friday.

Volatar wants in.

This tournament will take place on UK1 for two reasons: the majority of us seem to already play on it, and in the near future all the other servers will be merged into it anyways.

If you have not yet played a game on UK1, do so, or you will not be able to be invited. It only takes one game to show up as searchable.

Regarding the switch to everything being on one server: does anyone know if old replays, etc be carried over?

Yes.

Many people like to compare it to chess with guns and procedural maps.

I am now available for challenge on UK1 in addition to Texas. Just won two games in a row, a record for me. I feel like taking on the world

Not going to lie, kind of pissed me off how I accidentally pressed the little red button thingy at the bottom corner and it sets me up with a game. Fine, except I barely know how to play and don't WANT to face someone. So that's going to be a loss on my record just because it doesn't even tell you what the button does until you press it. And like a retard I pressed it twice. So, two instant losses.

I decided to just make another account and apparently your CD-Key has one use, so you can only make one account. Guess my friend who wanted to come over and try the game won't get to make an account for himself either.

If you don't play the first turn, after 2 weeks the games will disappear with no blight on your record.

Just buy your friend a copy through the bundle. The game is essentially free right now.

So I watched a video of this being played, and it looked interesting. What are peoples experiences playing it?

I, so far, have found it to be the best thing since sliced bread. It really is tons of fun. I love tactics.

Does the turn based multiplayer lead to extensive waiting?

No. You are able to see the status of the player you are playing against (working on this game, playing a different game, in the menu, offline, etc), so you have an idea how long you will wait until your next turn. Most people seem pretty prompt. Even still, I find myself much faster than others when playing (I take much less time in Chess too, a good comparable game), so I simply run 2-4 games at a time and bounce between them while waiting for the other people.

Are there grenades?

Yes. There are the following:

Shotgunners
Machinegunners
Snipers
Rocket Launcher guys
Grenediers (grenade launchers)

Is rage quitting a problem?

No. Most people seem willing to accept a loss. Even if someone decides to ragequit and not play their turn, after 2 weeks the game will automatically end with a win for the non-quitter.

my Win-Loss record is like, 3-17 or something, yet I keep coming back for more.
